Our invention relates to a combined display carton and container.

he object is to provide a cardboard box with an attached front foldingdisplay panel, and an ornamental holding arch or crown to constitute theopen-up formation.

The features of the invention are more fully set forth in thedescription of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the carton.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2, 2, Fig. l, the hinged back being shown inpartly open position, in dotted lines.

Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the upper portion of the carton as set upfor display purposes.

Fig. 6 is a similar front elevation of the lower portion of a modifiedform of carton adapted for supporting an article of merchandise. I

Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the carton shown in Fig. 5.

Fig. 8 is a detail section on line 8, 8, Fig. 6.

In the drawings, We have shown two forms, that shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3,4, 5 and 7 showing the advertising medium adhesively attached to orintegral with the base of the box.

In this form, 1 is the rectangular box, with 2, hinged to the top edgeof one end of the box, see Fig. 2. On the bottom of the box is securedthe medial panel 3, havin the right and left folding wings 4, 5, hlngedthereto. A top cross-piece or arch 6 is provided having bottom notches 7engaging with the notches 8 at the upper margins of the wings 4, 5.

ing an ornamental top piece projected forwardly of the medial panel,holding the advertising member rigid, and producing a very simple andattractive display.

The knock-down or shipping formation is shown in F igs. 1, 2, 3, and 4.In Figs. 6 and 8 the modification provides a medial panel 9, extensiblestrips 10 joining the ends of the box with the top and bottom of thedisplay panel, enabling the panel to be folded flat against a wall ofthe box for shipping or to be projected beyond the box In this modifieddisplay. The wings and arch are as in 7 tie first described form.

andhas a separable top lid, though this is inconsequential. functionalutility of the modified form is, that it enables the medial panel,standing away from the box, to be formed with cut-out portionsconstituting means for displaying the wares, such as rubber articles, orthe like, to be tucked into these holding and display formations. hedevice is simple, cheap, ornamental, useful and a desirable andadvertising medium.
